Verdict

Nicada is selected in the hope that he can dish out a repeat dose of his nursery success from 10 days ago; Keep Your Distance and the lightly raced Londolozi are expected to be the main dangers. Londolozi has ability and starts her handicap career from a reasonable mark. She is bred to appreciate the surface and market support would be interesting. Keep Your Distance does not look the most straightforward ride Paul Mulrennan will have this week and the partnership will be strongly tested if the colt's tendency to hang to his right resurfaces. That said, this is a modest contest and he has little to find to make his presence known in this company. However, the penny has dropped with Nicada and the Titus Livius colt has a slightly more convincing profile at this stage of their development. Jimmy Quinn's strength in a finish will also be a big plus aboard our hope today.
